Two friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the two-person presentation of Civil War history. One of the friends and I were former history teachers, but we learned a thing or two--and enjoyed doing it. The female actor was spectacularly good, but the whole thing was interesting and well presented. We were seated right next to the stage, so we were able...

Excellent time with skillful entertainment in the form of a history lesson. The meal is delightful and is in the setting and time of Jefferson Davis...Confederacy era! The menu is planned...each person receives same meal. The servers are mostly family/some others and the efficiency and speed of service is delightful. The theatre production was written by the Restaurant owner and...

I have been here twice in less than 6 months and both visits were top notch excellent. The meal is bounteous and tasty but the highlight is the theatre performance by the owner and his wife. A history lesson presented with humor and fact. Two very talented people, dedicated to educating their audience with truth. You will not like Pres....

I have to admit, I was not very excited about visiting this dinner theater as a stop on a bus tour. However, it turned out to be one of the best stops we made. This 2 person play was so entertaining, as well as educational. The website states it is "Southern Drama with Southern Humor". Steve Gipson, owner & actor,...

I was thoroughly impressed with the whole event. I found the ad in the back of Tennessee magazine, a one line blurb about the civil war dinner theater in whitwell..and...
